    This weekends fights are PPV in Canada...WTF?

    What a joke! I subscribe to HBO Canada and I have to pay $49.99 to see this weekends fights on pay per view. Bute-Andrade II didnt even air in Canada! They show all the WCB and BAD shows but if Bute is on the card then its not on the schedule. If I order it than i'm supporting this bull**** but if I don't...IMO there's nothing like watching the fights live.

    They don't even show the 24/7 shows, they told me they don't promote non HBO shows...huh?

    **** you HBO Canada!

      It's on payperview but we get both pavlik & bute fights...sucks we got to pay but thank Quebec & the French for that.they block hbo from airing bute fights for free.showtime use to show their fights...I didn't realize we don't get 24/7... Bute sells out bell centre every fight...20000 people so they milk us fans for $$$.

            They always do this with Bute fights, but it makes no sense because outside of Quebec nobody will buy this PPV in Canada. Talk about failing to get him ANY exposure in English Canada, he is never mentioned on English sport channels/newspapers yet he is popular in Quebec.
